what are we up to?

Living Acts is a very organic thing, we're finding out. It changes depending on who's living here AND depending on who's visiting here. (We do after all have alot of visitors.) And now we also have a lot of questions. People at the Ohio Mennonite Conference asked "what does Living Acts do?" It's hard to describe what we do at Living Acts. It's easier to talk about what we've done.

We have woken up at 4 in the morning to make egg rolls with our Laotian neighbor, (a woman who graciously helps us use these INCREDIBLE egg-rolls to fund-raise.) Let me tell you: it is so much easier waking up at 4 in the morning when you know you'll be eating the best egg-roll this world has to offer.

We have sorted boxes and boxes of Christmas decorations all over the Save & Serve thrift-store.

We have shared meals with our beloved "millersburg-ers," including Thai meals, Cajun meals, and the worst scratch-brownies I've ever forced down.

We have weekly art-nights where local artists gather to share in-process pieces of visual art, music and poetry and we have also had weekly electric-free nights where we all gather around candles and oil lamps and forgo our usual medias for whatever entertainment we can provide each other in conversation.

We host junior high students from the church, local artists, other locals passionate about community, out-of-town guests, and any other God-crafted individual who may find themselves in conversation with us.

I must be honest in telling you that we are messy people with messy lives and struggles that we can't hide or pretend don't exist. But we are all seeking something more meaningful than "self."
Isn't that what "seekers" are?
